Entanglement evolution of three-qubit mixed states in multipartite cavity-reservoir systems

We analyze the multipartite entanglement evolution of three-qubit mixed states composed of a GHZ state and a W state. For a composite system consisting of three cavities interacting with independent reservoirs, it is shown that the entanglement evolution is restricted by a set of monogamy relations. Furthermore, as quantified by the negativity, the entanglement dynamical property of the mixed entangled state of cavity photons is investigated. It is found that the three cavity photons can exhibit the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death （ESD）. However, compared with the evolution of a generalized three-qubit GHZ state which has the equal initial entanglement, the ESD time of mixed states is later than that of the pure state. Finally, we discuss the entanglement distribution in the multipartite system, and point out the intrinsic relation between the ESD of cavity photons and the entanglement sudden birth of reservoirs.

Teleportations of Mixed States and Multipartite Quantum States

In this paper, we propose a protocol to deterministically teleport an unknown mixed state of qubit by utilizing a maximally bipartite entangled state of qubits as quantum channel. Ira non-maximally entangled bipartite pure state is employed as quantum channel, the unknown mixed quantum state of qubit can be teleported with 1 -√ 1- C^2 probability, where C is the concurrence of the quantum channel. The protocol can also be generalized to teleport a mixed state of qudit or a multipartite mixed state. More important purpose is that, on the basis of the protocol, the teleportation of an arbitrary multipartite （pure or mixed） quantum state can be decomposed into the teleportation of each subsystem by employing separate entangled states as quantum channels. In the case of deterministic teleportation, Bob only needs to perform unitary transformations on his single particles in order to recover the initial teleported multipartite quantum state.

Mixed Symmetry Isomeric States in Nuclei

Mixed symmetry states are studied in the framework of the neutron-proton interacting boson model. It is found that some of the mixed symmetry states with moderate high spins change very fast with respect to the Majorana interaction. Under certain conditions, they become the yrast state or yrare state. These states are difficult to decay and become very stable. This study suggests that a possible new mode of isomers may exist due to the special nature in their proton and neutron degrees of freedom.

Entanglement dynamics of a moving multi-photon Jaynes-Cummings model in mixed states

Using the algebraic dynamical method, the entanglement dynamics of an atom-field bipartite system in a mixed state is investigated. The atomic center-of-mass motion and the field-mode structure are also included in this system. We find that the values of the detuning and the average photon number are larger, the amplitude of the entanglement is smaller, but its period does not increase accordingly. Moreover, with the increase of the field-mode structure parameter and the transition photon number, the amplitude of the entanglement varies slightly while the oscillation becomes more and more fast. Interestingly, a damping evolution of the entanglement appears when both the detuning and the atomic motion are considered simultaneously.

CONTINUOUS TIME MIXED STATE BRANCHING PROCESSES AND STOCHASTIC EQUATIONS

A continuous time and mixed state branching process is constructed by a scaling limit theorem of two-type Galton-Watson processes.The process can also be obtained by the pathwise unique solution to a stochastic equation system.From the stochastic equation system we derive the distribution of local jumps and give the exponential ergodicity in Wasserstein-type distances of the transition semigroup.Meanwhile,we study immigration structures associated with the process and prove the existence of the stationary distribution of the process with immigration.

Experimentally testing Hardy's theorem on nonlocality with entangled mixed states

Hardy＇s theorem on nonlocality has been verified by a series of experiments with two-qubit entangled pure states.However,in this paper we demonstrate the experimental test of the theorem by using the two-photon entangled mixed states.We first investigate the generic logic in Hardy＇s proof of nonlocality,which can be applied for arbitrary two-qubit mixed polarization entangled states and can be reduced naturally to the well-known logic tested successfully by the previous pure state experiments.Then,the optimized violations of locality for various experimental parameters are delivered by the numerical method.Finally,the logic argued above for testing Hardy＇s theorem on nonlocality is demonstrated experimentally by using the mixed entangled-photon pairs generated via pumping two type-I BBO crystals.Our experimental results shows that Hardy＇s proof of nonlocality can also be verified with two-qubit polarization entangled mixed states,with a violation of about 3.4 standard deviations.

WEAK FORMULATION OF MIXED STATE EQUATION ANDBOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM OF LAMINATEDCYLINDRICAL SHELL

Weak formulation of mixed state equations including boundary conditions are presented in a cylindrical coordinate system by introducing Hellinger-Reissner variational principle. Analytical solutions are obtained for laminated cylindrical shell by means of state space method. The present study extends and unifies the solution of laminated shells.

Fidelity between Gaussian mixed states with quantum state quadrature variances

In this paper, from the original definition of fidelity in a pure state, we first give a well-defined expansion fidelity between two Gaussian mixed states. It is related to the variances of output and input states in quantum information pro- cessing. It is convenient to quantify the quantum teleportation （quantum clone） experiment since the variances of the input （output） state are measurable. Furthermore, we also give a conclusion that the fidelity of a pure input state is smaller than the fidelity of a mixed input state in the same quantum information processing.

Separability of Pure States and Mixed States of the Quantum Network of Two Nodes

This article discusses the separability of the pure states and mixed states of the quantum network of two nodes by means of the criterion of no entanglement in terms of the covariance correlation tensor in quantum network theory, i.e. for a composite system consisting of two nodes. The covariance correlation tensor is equal to zero for all possible and .

Geometric Phases for Mixed States in Trapped Ions

The generalization of geometric phase from the pure states to the mixed states may have potential applications in constructing geometric quantum gates. We here investigate the mixed state geometric phases and visibilities of the trapped ion system in both non-degenerate and degenerate cases. In the proposed quantum system, the geometric phases are determined by the evolution time, the initial states of trapped ions, and the initial states of photons. Moreover, special periods are gained under which the geometric phases do not change with the initial states changing of photon parts in both non-degenerate and degenerate cases. The high detection efficiency in the ion trap system implies that the mixed state geometric phases proposed here can be easily tested.

Quantum Zeno Effect with Mixed Initial States

Quantum Zeno effect with mixed initial state is studied here. Frequent projective measurements performed on a bipartite joint pure state system will result in the quantum Zeno effect on the subsystem of interest. This shows the existence of Quantum Zeno effect in the system with mixed initial states.

Wave Period Distributions in Non-Gaussian Mixed Sea States

The wave period probability densities in non-Gaussian mixed sea states are calculated by utilizing a transformed Gaussian process method. The transformation relating the non-Gaussian process and the original Gaussian process is obtained based on the equivalence of the level up-crossing rates of the two processes. A saddle point approximation procedure is applied for calculating the level up-crossing rates in this study. The accuracy and efficiency of the transformed Gaussian process method are validated by comparing the results predicted by using the method with those predicted by the Monte Carlo simulation method.

Deriving Internal Energy by Virtue of Generalized Feynman-Hellmann Theorem for Mixed States

We show how to directly use the generalized Feynman-Hellmann theorem, which is suitable for mixed state ensemble average, to derive the internal energy of Hamiltonian systems. A concrete example, which is a two coupled harminic oscillators, is used for elucidating our approach.

Nonlinear Interaction and Entanglement Transfer from SU(1,1) Coherent State to Mixed Atoms

For nonlinear interactions with different forms of intensity-dependent coupling, entanglement transfer from the correlated two-mode SU（1,1） coherent states （SCS） to the initially separable and mixed atoms is investigated. It is found that suitable intensity-dependent coupling can enhance the entanglement transfer and make the atomic entanglement evolve periodically especially for the initially mixed atomic states. For SCS, the entanglement between the two modes is strengthened with the increase of the photon number difference （PND） between the two modes of the fields. When PND is odd, the entanglement between the atoms is less than that when PND is even.

Generalized Virial Theorem for Mixed State When Hamiltonians Include Coordinate-Momentum Couplings

The generalized Virial theorem for mixed state, derived from the generalized Hellmann Feynman theorem, only applies to Hamiltonians in which potential of coordinates is separate from momentum energy term. In this paper we discuss Virial theorem for mixed state for some Hamiltonians with coordinate-momentum couplings in order to know their contributions to internal energy.

Social Advantage with Mixed Entangled States

It has been extensively shown in past literature that Bayesian game theory and quantum non-locality have strong ties between them. Pure entangled states have been used, in both common and conflict interest games, to gain advantageous payoffs, both at the individual and social level. In this paper, we construct a game for a mixed entangled state such that this state gives higher payoffs than classically possible, both at the individual level and the social level. Also, we use the I-3322 inequality so that states that aren’t useful advice for the Bell-CHSH1 inequality can also be used. Finally, the measurement setting we use is a restricted social welfare strategy (given this particular state).

Solution of the Nucleon Structure Problem from a Field Theory of Fermions and Bosons and the Origin of the Proton Stability

A bound state formalism derived from a fermion-boson symmetric Lagrangian has been used to calculate the nucleon masses, the charge neutrality of the neutron, the magnetic moments and the electromagnetic form factor ratios μpGEp/GMpand μnGEn/GMn. A quantitative description is obtained, assuming a mixing of a scalar bound state of 3(f f¯)fstructure with its corresponding vector (f f¯)fstate (f indicating massless elementary fermions). Only a few parameters are needed, mainly fixed by energy and momentum conservation. The nucleon stability is explained by an extra binding in the confinement potential, negative for electric and positive for magnetic binding of the proton, and opposite for the neutron. The stronger electric extra binding of the proton allows a decay of the neutron to proton and electron.

Model Analysis of Influences of Aerosol Mixing State upon Its Optical Properties in East Asia

The air quality model system RAMS （Regional Atmospheric Modeling System）-CMAQ （Models-3 Com- munity Multi-scale Air Quality） coupled with an aerosol optical/radiative module was applied to investigate the impact of different aerosol mixing states （i.e., externally mixed, half externally and half internally mixed, and internally mixed） oil radiative forcing in East Asia. The simulation results show that the aerosol optical depth （AOD） generally increased when the aerosol mixing state changed from externally mixed to internally mixed, while the single scattering albedo （SSA） decreased. Therefore, the scattering and absorption proper- ties of aerosols can be significantly affected by the change of aerosol mixing states. Comparison of simulated and observed SSAs at five AERONET （Aerosol Robotic Network） sites suggests that SSA could be better estimated by considering aerosol particles to be internally mixed. Model analysis indicates that the impact of aerosol mixing state upon aerosol direct radiative forcing （DRF） is complex. Generally, the cooling effect of aerosols over East Asia are enhanced in the northern part of East Asia （Northern China, Korean peninsula, and the surrounding area of Japan） and are reduced in the southern part of East. Asia （Sichuan Basin and Southeast China） by internal mixing process, and the variation range can reach ＋5 W m 2. The analysis shows that the internal mixing between inorganic salt and dust is likely the main reason that the cooling effect strengthens. Conversely, the internal nfixture of anthropogenic aerosols, including sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, black carbon, and organic carbon, could obviously weaken the cooling effect.

Degree of Entanglement and Violation of Bell Inequality by Two-Spin-1/2 States

Bell inequality is violated by the quantum mechanical predictions made from an entangled state of the composite system. In this paper we examine this inequality and entanglement measures in the construction of the coherent states for two-qubit pure and mixed states, we find a link to some entanglement measures through some new parameters （amplitudes of coherent states）. Conditions for maximal entanglement and separability are then established for both pure and mixed states. Finally, we analyze and compare the violation of Bell inequality for a class of mixed states with the degree of entanglement by applying the formalism of Horodecki et al.
